PRESENTS:
THE HAUNTiNG SOUND OF FiONA JOY HAWKiNS AND HER NEW LiVE CD LiVE AT THE Q 
MARCH
13, 2012 - FIONA JOY HAWKINS is a pianist/singer and composer who fuses
the genres of Classical disciplines, Jazz rhythms and New Age
discoveries. 2012 sees the release of LIVE AT THE Q and SENSUAL
JOURNEYS from this New Age favourite along with an ambitious tour of
Australia and the US. An
Australian
ARIA Finalist in 2009 and MusicOZ Winner in 2008, FIONA has been a
finalist in over 43 Indie Artist Awards across 9 countries. Her earlier
album, BLUE DREAM (ABC Music), received the highest ever ranking in the
history of the New Age Reporter International Radio Charts, debuting at
#1 and then winning the ZMR Album of the Year, Best Piano Album and
Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. Classically
trained as a pianist, FIONA's music is thematic and melodic. With a
keen eye on film she has always been interested in creating music that
evokes images and emotions and tells a story. Fiona first began playing
and writing music as a child and cites Ravel's Bolero as an early
influence. "I played it over and over and deconstructed every part, I
absolutely loved it," said Fiona. Other musical influences include
George Winston, Prokofiev and Mendelssohn.RELATED LiNKS: WWW.FiONAJOYHAWKiNS.COM.AU ABOUT THE HOST:  BRIAN
LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
